| I wasn't sure where this should go but I figure Social Skills might be the best place for this. There is a girl on my floor at college who I am not sure if I want to continue being friends with her or not. There are times when she has been incredibly nice to me and supportive of me, I have I felt th... |

| NLD should only be diagnosed by neurologists or neuropsychs. A BIG problem right now is Psychologists and psychiatrists are diagnosing many girls with NLD on behavioral symptoms, when its really the female manifestation of AS. I was diagnosed with NLD about a year ago but for a long time and still ... |

I believe in a higher power and that something does happen to us after death, I just don't really identify or practically pra... |

My roommate i... |

| I've honestly never learned how to ride a bike. When I was younger I was more interested in riding my scooter instead of riding a bike. Now that I am older I want to learn how to ride a bike but I'm not sure where I could learn or who could teach me since I am embarrassed about it. I asked my father... |

| Honestly, it really depends on the person. There are certain people that make me feel really uncomfortable if they get to close to me or try to touch me (it will almost make me shutter if they do). I also really hate if someone pokes me or taps me especially on my shoulder or back. On the other hand... |

| . What do you think you will be good at in your classes? :) Composition time(48mins.) :) The analogy was very interesting, it's easy for us to forget that we are in control of our emotions because the emotions (to me) feel like they control us. I am not exactly sure what I will be good at in my cla... |

| I love to pace especially while listening to music, it just feels so relaxing. I tend to pace around my room or pace in the basement. I'll pace in other areas of the house when no one is around or when no one is in that room because I am self-conscious about it. I used to love pacing around my backy... |

Just-me I don't think I actually want to die but I feel so sad that I don't want to live either, it's a really horrible feeling. At this point I am very nervous about ... |

I feel so alone all the time and have such a hard time finding my words, whether to express my feelings or to make plans with another person. I just feel as if no one really wants me or will ev... |
